Are black concrete roof tiles for my house uncomfortably hot even with roof under sheeting and insulation?
Black absorbs the suns rays. You're going to have to put vented windows in the attic. One on one side and one on the other side for ventilation if you don't already have them. There are also attic fans...take your choice. Purchase a fan that serves your purpose. As for the venting on the roof I still think it's a good idea for more ventilation.
If I insulate my roof, should I put in those plastic vents that go between the studs for air flow? I would like to use it for a work shop and probibly have some kind of heat source. i live in Northern Alberta.....
Insulating the ceiling and then the roof would be a huge waste of money. You only insulate on the cold side of a heated area. Why would you put insulation on the roof when you have insulation in the ceiling and there is no heat source in between the two?. Put R40 insulation in your ceiling, roof vents in your roof, and you will be fine. You can add more insulation if you want, but it gets to the point where you are not really doing much any more.

Why is the most insulation needed in ceilings or roofs? Just wanted to know
well insulation in general is to keep the inside temperature different than the outside. since hot air usually rises, i think it is to keep warm air form escaping in winter. also you don't usually have a heater in the attic, or air conditioning so insulation will keep the air in the attic from having an effect on the air within the house. that is my idea as to why

you do now not desire insulation for this application. in case you have now not offered the metallic yet i might advise searching for a status seam roof equipment that the panel would not are available touch with the substrate and would not use uncovered fasteners. If contained sooner or later you probably did be certain to surround the porch and upload warmth you ought to insulate the ceiling and depart an air area below the decking that ought to be ventilated from the eave to the ridge. a chilly roof assembly with proper air flow will dramatically cut back the flexibility of the metallic panels sweating.
We have recently moved into a house in Australia with a tin roof. There is a layer of 5cm batts on the rafters in the roof space, but the temp is 10-15 degrees C higher up there than in the house (with all the windows and doors open). I don't want to get air-conditioning, is there another way to insulate the roof and cool the house?
go and buy a roof whirly for every 10mtr. square ,, if you don't want to spend the money then try to put in more vents in the eves so more air can be drawn into the roof space... another thing that I have always thought of doing myself is to get shade cloth and cover over the roof but not touching the tin. Maybe a blind type of thing, where you could roll it up in winter when you want to get the roof hotter. .. anyhow I think whatever you do to redude the heat you must be able to retain the heat in winter if you do not want to use a heater as well... cool luck ''lol"
I already have fiberglass in the attic, but would like to add more.
Blown in is easier, cheaper and can be a DIY project. Just make sure you don't block the soffitts that allow air to circulate.
